If interested in any of these positions contact Ryan Finley for more information.

Each month the Bill Hart District holds their RoundTable meetings
and we are after a willing parent to go to each of these meetings to report
back to the Troop of what is happening in the District. These are held the 1st Thursday of
each month and are at the new location of the LDS Church, 27827 SkyCrest Drive,
Santa Clarita (near Decoro and McBean Parkway).
This is a valuable opportunity to volunteer for the Troop. Please contact SM Ryan Finley at ryanfinley@oldglorytroop499.com for further information.

2019 WORLD SCOUT JAMBOREE APPLICATIONS

A World Scout Jamboree (WSJ) is often a once in a lifetime experience for any Scout who attends. With opportunities for camaraderie with Scouts from around the world, the WSJ is a unique cultural immersion experience that supports the World Organization of the Scouting Movement’s mission to create global citizens and educate young people. The Contingent Management Team (CMT) of the USA Contingent to the 24th WSJ is committed to expanding this unique opportunity to as many young people as possible, regardless of their socioeconomic background or ability to pay the cost of attendance. Therefore, a USA Contingent Scholarship program, based on financial need, has been developed to assist youth and young adults in their quest to attend a WSJ.

Scholarship Amount

The scholarship could potentially cover the requested amount, up to 50% of the published fee ($2,800 for Western Region Scouts).

Who is Eligible for the Scholarship?

Those eligible to apply for a scholarship include:

Youth Participants – Any youth who has been approved to be a USA contingent member (ages 14-17 during the time of the Jamboree).

Online Resources to Help Your Family With Disaster Preparedness ... Is your family prepared for a potential disaster. Here are some online resources that you can use to help prepare your household and workplace for disaster. The recent earthquakes and tsunami in Japan were a reminder of how important it is to make sure your family is prepared for disasters.
